THE NORTHERN PEOPLE.
He was proud, the speaker continued,

be an American citizcB, and he held a
different opinion from what he used to

Judge southern people by such men as
William Malone and John g. Wise.
MISS DlxIE's ELOPEMENT.
There are good people everywhere,
and there are no people on the earth
who have cause TO be prOudcr than Nir-
RiDians. The sword and pen OF the
Revolution were upheld in Virginia S
hand. Major Daniel then framed the
secession history in this style
Miss Dixie one day left her home and
elOped with Secession, and together they
went and settled on q large plantation
called the Southern Confederacy. The
old folks at home wanted her to come
back, but she would not, so they sent a
Of 100000 men with NC
Dowell at their head after her, but she
wouldn't hearken to their appeals, 30
they went back to Washington and slam
med the door after them. The next year
the old folks sent another committee Of
300 600 men. They wouldn't send the
invitation by mail, and the committee
came down and laid it at her door ; but
Governor Letcher was not feeling very
we'll that day, and he frowned and
would not let them in, and 80 they went
home.
The next year another committee OF
300, 900 men was sent, and some OF them
went through the Wilderness and others
through Georgia, and they were 30
anxious to get Dixie back that they
waded a river in tue night. Well, the
people OF Virginia were always hospta-
bic, and when they found the commit
tee were so anxious to come III, and for
fear there would be some trouble. they
said, "Nery well, come in, aud Dixie
will 60 back to the old folks at home
And now, said Major Daniel, We are in
)ur fathers house and we'll 90 TO The
arder, and if We find any appropriation
'or James river or anything else we need
